Trackpoints are great, they're my second choice when I can't use a trackball for some reason. Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to design a split keyboard with a trackpoint.
I requested a track ball at work, turns out, they had like 20 of them in some storage room that no one wanted to use. Shortly after I began using a track ball, others also wanted to try it out. Basically my entire department now uses trackballs at work lol
If this doesn't work for you, I have another (not as great) option that I used to use, back when I was using iOS. You can find a Invidious or Piped instance you like and a shortcut to it on your home screen. Obviously, that's not as great as having a nice native app, but it works.
HELL YEAH
FUCK CHROMIUM, GOOGLE AND ALL OF BIG TECH
